Poll: HP TouchPad - $99 in US - any sign of UK drop?

[RoachycaL]

I got one from PCW - as in added it to basket and paid for it before that error came up but I haven't gotten a confirmation email yet. Anyone else had this?

 

[Archy]

Can't get onto Staples at all

 

[Nazca]

Anyone got an order confirmation from PCW after successfully placing one?

Yep.

 

[Jono8]

I HATE THIS

 

[scrlk]

Expansys is apparently returning stock to HP - can anyone confirm this please?

 

[foxracer]

The store which could also be an Indian restaurant also had all the accessories for half price

HP is probably going to have loads which they'll sell direct, so I'm sure those who missed out here will be able to get one then...

I got to payment on staples then it threw up "technical issues" placeholder.

What muppets develop these sites? Once you have it in your basket, it should be reserved as a single transaction.

For ticket sites and other sites that get heavy traffic, yes. Most of these sites will never have seen this much traffic and probably won't again, so it's not worth the extra cost and support. Depends how long their site is down I suppose, but it'd be a significant change.
